At 26 I decided to go back to college and finish my degree. At the start of covid before the pandemic, I was essentially jobless. I decided to change my life and pursue things I wanted my way. I sacrificed 3 years of no life and studying, but I now have an entry level job making over the median income for my age. Beyond blessed but it's only one step in my journey, I still have student loans to pay off and a shit credit to fix, but I feel much better about myself, my future, and my outlook on life.

I've learned over the years that the best way to combat spending money that should go towards investments, etc. is to take them out first. If you're wanting to invest 25%, take 25% out of every check when you first get it. You'll naturally arrange the rest of your spending to fit because you don't have that 25% to spend anymore.

It's crazy that the only Investments I'm speaking of is trying really hard to be responsible putting money into my 401k and once I got all my debt paid off in the first couple years at my job I went from putting 6% away to get my employer match to focusing on maxing out all but two years while I was buying the house and then renovating. The compounding is quite insane to me.

You guys are missing that "buy a house, get married, have kids (commitments)" are what is NOT happening for people entering their 30s now. Marriages, birthrate, house ownership is only dropping with housing costs. So if you are already renting, dating but not having success, childfree. It's actually unlikely that your commitments go up in your 30s. Maybe once 40 comes if anything changes in our world. But seems like you guys are only targeting the richer upper class of Millennials/gen Z that is getting close to the 30s. Interesting seeing the median numbers though. As a loser that basically just goes home to play video games I'm already ahead of a 39 year old in your example even though I'm only 30. So by kind of just not doing much I'm 9+ years ahead of the median. That only makes me feel worse tbh.

If this person takes your advice and saves 25% of that, their new income is now $11,310/year to split between food, housing, clothes, transportation, healthcare and more, which is not possible. By your logic, no one should be making only $7.25/hr, and we need to raise the minimum wage.

Net worth is pretty much always defined as assets minus liabilities. Imagine two scenarios, one where a person has a home worth 250k and has a mortgage of 200k left and no other debts/assets (net worth of positive 50k); VS. someone with 50k in retirement savings alone, but no debts or other assets (net worth also positive 50k). If you didn't consider the liabilities of the homeowner, then you would falsely overestimate their net worth at 250k.

Yes kids cost more money. I'd argue though that there's a benefit to wealth building not accounted for by dinks. 1. Being a parent requires you to learn how to sacrifice more. That means you learn yo value income more driving you to save more. If you have less you know how important it is and won't undervalue what you have. 2. You have someone to care for. That means people are dependant on you. This can drive you to be more responsible. 3. If your tighter on money, you'll be less likely to settle. In the short term you'll make less but I'd question what the long term impact of having kids are. The drive to earn more can lead to higher income levels once the kids no longer need daycare. 4. There's a bias in the corporate world for kids. Yes you're less available to work, but if you're older and don't have kids, I'd argue that's a red flag that youve avoided levels of responsibility and acceptance of challenges. Early on in your career being child free is seen as a benefit. When you're 45? Id argue not so much. Oh and were not even talking about parents who do a decent job parenting. Eventually their kids help out when they themselves are 35-40. You don't get that being a childless person.

37, debt free, roughly 350k net worth, and I feel far behind. I'm not comparing myself to average, but damn.. I didn't realize my age group's average net worth was that bad. To think, 50% of an average is less than average as well. I certainly hope this changes as more individuals smell the coffee.

A forbes article about him indicates he graduated university in 2008, so I would guess he is in his mid to late thirties.

As someone who had his child at 16 years old, and is currently 31, this could not describe my situation any worse. I have a lot more time and less financial responsibilities.

But having a child at 16 is not the normals age. Your messy middle was in the 20’s

Lol, terrible advice. The proactive decision to have kids is not a financial decision. Sure, you want to have savings and projected positive cashflow to meet the needs of a child. But the vast majority of the time people decide to have kids it is from a family satisfaction / legacy perspective.
